The list is long: iPads, cell phones and jeans are typical items that children “have to” buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.But parents also need to take the blame(责备) for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. They end up competing with other parents over whether their children have the latest products.So its no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.And its hard to save when companies use advertising (打广告)and clever slogans (口号) to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.Today, you dont even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans (贷款) all the time, so people are saving less and less. We are used to carrying lots of money around. And if you dont have much, you can always borrow some.But this hasnt always been the case. When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.The older generation made the wise expression, “Money doesnt grow on trees.” This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.21. The text mainly tells us _.A. differences between teenagers and their parents B. what is popular among children at the momentC. how to spend money wiselyD. childrens high consumption(消费) of products22. Parents are to blame for childrens spending a lot of money because _.A. they dont give children positive guidance in consumptionB. they offer to buy the latest fashions for their childrenC. they always give children too much pocket moneyD. their consumption habits set a bad example to children23. What will be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. methods to make money grow on the tree.B. ideas to earn money easily.C. causes of money having a great deal of value both in the past and at presentD. tips to learn from old generations value on money.BOne of the most firmly established idea of manliness(男子汉) is that a real man doesnt cry. Although he might cry a bit at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Crying openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men dofive times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.Historically, however, men usually cried, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights(骑士) cried only because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelot cries at a brief separation from Guinevere. Theres no mention of the men in these stories trying to hold back or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do other people make fun of this public crying; its universally regarded as an expression of feeling to show love.So where did all the male tears go? The most obvious possibility is that this is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural(农业的) society to one that was urban(城市的)and industrial(工业的). In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize(同情). But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where expressions of feelings and even personal conversations were discouraged as time wasting.Yet human beings werent designed to hide their feelings, and theres reason to believe that restraining tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and not enough crying. Crying is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.24. In history, people considered it _ for men to cry in public.A. manlyB. shameful C. acceptable D. funny25. How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3?A. By offering descriptions. B. By asking questions.C. By comparing facts. D. By listing numbers.26. Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage?A. Tony who lives alone and never expresses himself.B. Peter who is outgoing but sometimes cries in public.C. Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.D. Adam who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Men Dont Cry. Why?B. Crying Is for WomenC. Who Cry More? Men or Women?D. Crying Makes a Weak Man CHuman beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?28. From paragraph 1, we can know _.A. why early human beings cut skin from dead animalsB. how early human beings discovered the toolsC. what early human beings used the tools forD. what food early human beings stored29. The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it _.A. was very important to the development of mankindB. led to the invention of machines in the early timeC. developed cooking abilities of mankindD. was one of the first tools of mankind30. The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to _.A. show the changes of tools B. introduce a new kind of toolC. give an example of using tools D. compare the effects of two kinds of tools31. At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is _.A out of order B. less colorful C. hard to predict D. full of meaningsDI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didnt want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul he stood up for me. I dont know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if youre fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back he with his Newmans Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didnt see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. Hed been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didnt talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didnt need a lot of words.32. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didnt like his agent.C. He wasnt famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else.33. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics.34. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief. B. Their care for children.C. Their success. D. Their support for each other.35. What is the authors purpose in writing the test?A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Play Helps Develop Bigger, Better Brains! Playing is a serious business. Children absorbed in a make-believe world, baby foxes play-fighting or kittens teasing a ball of string arent just having fun. Play may look like a carefree way to pass the time before the hard work of adulthood comes along, but theres much more to it.If play is not simply a way to have fun, for what other reasons has it developed? _ (36) Earlier this year, Sergio Pellis of Lethbridge University, Canada, reported that there is a strong positive link between brain size and playfulness among mammals in general. _ (37) The opposite was also found to be true.According to John Byers of Idaho University, the timing of the playful stage in young animals provides an important clue to whats going on. If you plot the amount of time a child devotes to play each day over the course of its development, you discover a pattern typically associated with a “sensitive period”a brief development window during which the brain can actually be adjusted in ways that are not possible earlier or later in life. _ (38) “People have not paid enough attention to the amount of the brain activated by play,” says Mare Bekoff from Colorado University. Bekoff studied coyote pups at play and found that the kind of behavior involved was obviously more variable and unpredictable than that of adults. He also reasons that such behavior activates many different parts of the brain. _ (39) “Theres enormous cognitive involvement in play,” says Bekoff. He points out that play often involves complex assessments of playmates and the use of specialized signals and rules. He believes that play creates a brain that has greater behavioral flexibility and improved potential for learning later in life. _ (40) A.Play just lights everything up.B.The importance of playfulness is drawing more attention.C. The latest idea suggests that play has developed to build big brains.D. A popular explanation is that it helps children develop the skills they will later need.E. Think of the relative ease with which kidsbut not babies or adultsabsorb language.F. Not only is more of the brain involved in play, but it also activates higher cognitive processes.G. Comparing fifteen orders of mammal, his team found larger brains are linked to greater playfulness.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The young woman entered the pool where an injured dolphin was swimming.
